From mice to men - astrocytes and neural progenitor cells in neural plasticity and regeneration
(2017-02-06)
Astrocytes, a key homeostatic cell type in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS), have various functions in health and diseases. In neurotrauma, stroke, epilepsy or neurodegenerative diseases, astrocytes become reactive, ...
The effect of astrocytes and reactive gliosis on neurogenesis and astrogenesis in mice
(2008-11-10)
Astrocytes are the most common cell type in mammalian central nervous system (CNS). Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and vimentin constitute intermediate filaments (known also as nanofilaments), a part of the ...
The role of astrocytes in stroke, brain plasticity and neurogenesis
(2013-05-10)
Astrocytes, one of the most abundant and heterogeneous cell types in the central nervous system, fulfill many important roles in the healthy and injured brain. This thesis investigates the role of astrocytes in the neurogenic ...
